What does it mean that gas heats my house? How?
In: Engineering
Most likely it means your furnace or boiler system burns natural gas or propane to generate heat.
Your house has pipe or tank that pushes some kind of heating gas into your home like natural gas, propane, etc
You have an appliance in your home that takes that gas and runs it past a small “starter fire” and burns the heating gas to make heat
lots of variation of course, but that’s the general concept
Do you have vents that blow air? In that case, there is a furnace that burns natural gas, and that burning gas heats air that is pushed though duct work to the vents into your living areas.
Do you have radiators? In that case, there is a furnace that burns natural gas, and that burning gas heats water than can either be pumped to the radiators or heated enough to be turned into steam that goes into the radiators.
